This job search is starting to mess with my head. Some days I feel hopeful... good interview, good chat, maybe this is it. Then days pass, nothing comes back, or the role gets reposted like it never happened. If you’ve been through this, how did you stop it from wrecking your confidence? What actually helped?

I'm trying to start my career I'm doing something I'm passionate about but I'm getting really disheartened because I don't think anyone wants me and I want to show everybody that I'm worth something I have lots of clearances and more I would like a job where I can help people and if you think I would be suitable I wouldn't mind talking to someone about this helping me get into position where I can help people

I need advice on how to build a good professional network and my current network isn't very helpful or active. How can I expand my network in other directions, so my connections are useful for referrals? Has anyone had a good experience with professional networking events and what were they?

Am I cooked? Dropped out of uni due to anxiety and personal issues, but I need a job to get out of my living situation (horrible roommates). What jobs can I do that don't require a degree or certificate or experience? I can move anywhere and will do basically anything to get on my feet. What are the best options for getting a job quickly?

I’ve been out of school since September and haven’t been able to find a job. I apply for about 12 everyday and I never hear anything back. Is it just me or is anyone else experiencing a similar problem? Any tips for it to not mess with my head

I'm almost 36 and have never had a 'career'. I've been a SAHM for nearly 13 years, working odd jobs here and there. Latest was 2 years in a café and I absolutely hated it. I have worked in child safety and have a half completed Cert IV, but hated that job too and never want to work in the industry again. I also hate studying and don't have 3-5 years to commit to something I have no passion for. So how do people know what they want to do and find a job they don't hate?

I just started my work life and just got fired from one of my jobs, at least I have another, but it still hurts a lot and I'm not sure how to deal with it

Bummed...is anyone else finding it really tough to get a job in Australia right now? The job market can be tricky, and sometimes it feels like no matter what you try, it’s hard to get noticed. What’s one tip or strategy that actually helped you land a job? Share your tips, they might help others like me!

How to stay focused all day at work? I find myself starting to get tired and distracted around 3pm and after that there’s not much more productivity, my brain just feels like mush. Any tips for staying alert and locked in at the end of the work day aside from smashing a Monster?
